Effect of Biphasic Insulin Aspart 50 on Blood Glucose Control in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose This trial is conducted in Asia. The trial aims to investigate if the blood glucose control of biphasic insulin aspart 50 is at least as effective as treatment with biphasic insulin aspart 30 both in combination with metformin.

Current Primary Outcome MeasuresChange in Glycosylated Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) [Time Frame: week 0, week 16] [Designated as safety issue: No]Change in glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) from week 0 (baseline) to end of treatment (week 16)
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • The Percentage of Subjects Achieving HbA1c Treatment Targets [Time Frame: week 16] [Designated as safety issue: No]The percentage of subjects who after 16 weeks of treatment met the glycosylated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) treatment targets below 7%, or below or equal to 6.5%.
  • Change and Daily Average in 8-point Plasma Glucose [Time Frame: week 0, week 16] [Designated as safety issue: No]Change in 8-point plasma glucose from baseline (week 0) to at end of treatment (week 16). 8-point plasma glucose was measured at following time points: Before each meal, 120 minutes after the start of each meal, at bedtime, and at 3:00 AM in the morning. Daily average was calculated at the end of treatment.
  • Change and Daily Average in Prandial Plasma Glucose Increment [Time Frame: week 0, week 16] [Designated as safety issue: No]Change in prandial (mealtime) plasma glucose increment from baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 16). Daily average prandial plasma glucose increment was calculated at end of treatment.
  • The Total Increase in Total Daily Insulin Dose Per Body Weight [Time Frame: week 0, week 16] [Designated as safety issue: No]The total increase in total daily insulin dose per body weight from baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 16).
  • Change in Body Weight [Time Frame: week 0, week 16] [Designated as safety issue: No]Change in body weight from baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 16)
  • Number of Hypoglycaemic Episodes [Time Frame: weeks 0-16] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]Number of hypoglycaemic episodes occurring after baseline (week 0) to the end of treatment (week 16) in each treatment group. Hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as major, minor, or symptoms only. Major if the subject was unable to treat her/himself. Minor if subject was able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose was below 3.1 mmol/L or 56 mg/dL. Symptoms only if subject was able to treat her/himself and with either no plasma glucose or blood glucose measurement or plasma glucose higher than or equal to 3.1 mmol/L or 56 mg/dL.
  • Number of Nocturnal Hypoglycaemic Episodes [Time Frame: weeks 0-16] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]Number of nocturnal hypoglycaemic episodes occurring after baseline (week 0) to end of treatment (week 16) in each treatment group. Hypoglycaemic episodes were defined as major, minor, or symptoms only. Major if the subject was unable to treat her/himself. Minor if subject was able to treat her/himself and plasma glucose was below 3.1 mmol/L or 56 mg/dL. Symptoms only if subject was able to treat her/himself and with either no plasma glucose or blood glucose measurement or plasma glucose higher than or equal to 3.1 mmol/L or 56 mg/dL.
